Commitment to Diversity
The counseling center honors diversity by treating all members of the Whitworth community with respect and by intentionally considering the needs of underrepresented groups. We are dedicated to maintaining a welcoming and inclusive environment that recognizes the impact of stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination, oppression and privilege. We demonstrate our commitment to multicultural practices through engagement in professional development and reflective supervision.
